THE BEE: OMAHA, TUESDAY, JANUARY 4, 1910. ROW IN STALWART CAMP?| South Dakota Progressives Profess to See Division Among Standpatters. HIT AT WATERTOWN MEETING | Plerre Capital-Journal Proposed Conference of Stalwart Leaders and nes Rumor of Deflection in Ranks, Denounces BIOUX FALLS, 8. D, Jan. 3.—(Special.) ~Political interest In South Dakota at present is centered In a meeting of stal- wart republican state leaders, which is to be held at Watertown on Thursday of this week. It Is expected that at the meeting the selection will be made of the men who @re to lead the stalwart republicans in the contest for nomination to the offices of governor and other rtate positions, which will culminate in the primaries next June, The progressive republicans desire to re- tain control of state affairs, and thus are deeply interested in what the stalwarts will do at the Watertown meeting. The progressive are making much of an editorial, which was printed in the Plerre Capital-Journal & few days ago, which In substance repudiates the Watertown meet ing and states that no stalwarts of stand- ing should be present or take any part in the meeting. The Capital-Journal i5 one of the most radical stalwart republican newspapers in the state, and its repudiation of the coming Watertown meeting is pointed out by the progressive republicans as evidence that the stalwarts are divided into two bostile camps and, notwithstanding their boasts of harmony, will be unable to present a united front against the progressives, should the stalwarts carry out their announced intention to place a full stalwart ticket be- fore the voters of South Dakota at the June primaries. Burke and Kittredge. The progressive republicans have alwavs claimed that the Plerre Capital-Journal s the personal organ of Congressman Charles H. Burke, who always has been a strong stalwart, and because of this they say the repudiation of the Watertown meoting by the Capital-Journal shows that Con- gressman Burke and ex-Senator Kittred; the leader of the stalwart republicans, have parted company. However, the stalwarts ®#ay the Capital-Journal is not the personal organ of Congressman Burke and that without doubt he has no interest in editorlal course and therefore could not have knows that the Capital-Journal would repudiate the Watertown meeting of stal- warts. Nevertheless, the incident has given the progressives grounds for claiming that the #talwarts are by no means working to- gether in harmony and that it will be qif- ficult for them to unite upon candidates who will receive the united support of the stalwarts at the June primaries. The preseht views of the progressives are ably stated by Fred W. Wright, editor of the DeSmet Independent, who s one of the most conservative and outspoken of the progressive republican newspaper men of the state. In speaking of the colmng meeting of stalwarts at Watertown he eaid: Progressives May Unite. “At the present time the disposition of the progressives seems to be for dropping the factional fight and returning to office all first-term offielals, -whether progres- sives or stalwarts. Should the stalwarts declde upon any other course the respon- sibllity for a factional fight all along the line witl; be. upon thelr shaulder “The proper thing for the party to do Is to turn dosn any and all who advocate a factional fight. But there are a few who imagine they are the whole cheese, polit- fcally speaking, and who, it seems, will never be satistied unless they can run the party In this state as they did a few years ago. But they never can run it, and the sooner they realize it, the better it will be for all concerned. “It 1s my prediction that there will not be more than ten or a dozen present at the meeting, exclusive of those resident at Watertown, and every one of them will be an ex-officeholder.” Naturally interest In the Watertown meeting centers in who will be selected— i a selection is made at that time—to head the state ticket of the stalwarts for the office of governor. Only two candidates have thus far been prominently mentioned, in the perkons of ex-Governor Samuel H. Eirod of Clark and E. L. Abel of Huron, both of whom are strong supporters of the stalwart republican cause. Both men have energetic backers, who will work hard to have thelr favorite se- lected as the stalwart republican standard bearer in the approaching campaign.

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 3.—The local au- thorities are endeavoring to solve, by means of the finger print method, the mystery of the death of Morgan Shively, a conductor who was stabbed to death at San Gabriel yesterday. Mr, and Mrs. G. A. Stone, in whose home the tragedy occurred, say they know noth- ing of the stabbing except that they heard an uproar in the kitchen late Jast night and found the room In disorder. Shively was missing. Later Shively was found dead by the roadside some distance from the house. Foot prints and bloody finger marks were found in the kitchen. Mr. and Mrs. Stone are under arrest. They came here from Lincoln, Neb. Their home s decorated with University ofy Nebraska pennants, bunners and photographs Hudson s Career Filled with Crime Man Who Drank Wood Alcohol in Penitentiary Shot Sheriff of Johnson County. TECUMSEH, Neb., Few men of his age have had a career more filled with crime than has Simeon Hudson, the young prisoner in the Ne- braska penitentlary who has just gone totally blind from the effects of drinking wood alcohol for the sake of Intoxication. Hudson, who is a tall, fine looking young man, Is but 2 years of age. He comes from a good family in lowa and is serving a sentence of five and one-half years for forgery, having been sentenced by Judge William Kelligar in the Johnson county district court in October, 1907. In June, 1907, Hudson came to this city to visit relatives living near town. He was attired in typlcal cowboy dress and wore a 4d-caliber revolver In his belt. He was sized up as a smart aleck, but turned out to be a bad type of desperado. About the time he came here he cashed two forged checks in Tecumseh, one for $22, on the Citizens National bank, and one for $18, on the First National bank. The checks were made out to “John Ziegler,” and were made over the forged namfe of E. W. Ful- ler, a lumberman of Vesta. Hudson en- dorsed the checks and got his money. The bankers became suspicious of the genuine- ness of the checks and went to look for Hudson, who, In the meantime had gone to Sterling, where he tried to cash another check, but was not successful. He hired a saddle horse at the livery stable there, say- ing he wanted it for the day, but rode it first to Cook and then to Burr, trying to cash forged checks at both places, without success. A short time later It was learned that Hudson was at the home of his uncle, John Kramer, who lived south of this city. Sheriff H. U. Miner went out to arrest the young man, but Hudson put up a fight and shat Miner In the shoulder with his res volver, making him helpless. At the muz- zle of his revolver Hudson warned the sheriff not to follow him and he went to the barn and mounted a horse and rode away. Miner returned to Tecumseh, where he was given surgical attention, and the report of the shooting stirred the citizens into great excitement. A big posse was formed here, and another at Pawnee City, including dozens of men and boys, all heav- Uy armed, which proteeded to a timbered spot some eleven miles south of here, and a man hunt was engaged in for twenty- four hours, without success. In July, 1907, Sheriff Miner got a tele- gram from the sheriff at Casper, Wyo. saying that Hudson was In Kineley and that he, the sheriff, would deliver him to the Johnson county authoritles of they would -meet him at Kinsley, and that he claimed the reward of $200 for the appre- hension of the man, which had been made here. Requisition papers were applied for and Sheriff Miner and a deputy went to | Kinsley, where they met Sheriff Shaffner of Casper, but here they were confronted with more trouble. They found Hudson in Jjail serving a fifteen days' sentence for carrying concealed weapons on the streets of Kinsley. Both the marshal of the Kan- sas town and the sheriff were aware of the fact that a reward had been offered for Hudson, and they also knew they had the right man. They refused to glve him up until the reward money was paid, and it took a direct order from Governor Hoch to enable the Johnson county officers to get their man. At the October term of the district court Hudson was taken before Judge Kelliger on a former charge. He pleaded not gulity, but afterwards changed his plea Jan. 3.—(Special)— upon the merey of the court. He was sen- tenced as stated and taken back to the penitentiary at once. It developed that at | the time Hudson came to Tecumseh he was an escaped convict from the Iowa peniten- tiary. He had been sentenced on a forgery charge, paroled and broke the parole by running away and coming to Nebraska.
